Kagura Hearts
Chapter 19 ~ Sora X Kat
It was Saturday in the Afternoon, and Sora was getting ready…for the most difficult day of his life. He got dressed in a suit that Sayuri placed in the closet in case of a day when Sora needed to dress his best…
Asuka knocked on the door and opened it while asking, "Ready for your date with Katsu yet, Sora? It's taking more time than it should to get ready, so I thought I'd get up and check-...on…" Asuka then saw Sora, in a dashing Navy-Blue suit, trying to tie his bowtie around his collar. Sora then said, "...I could dress in swimming trunks, in magic clothes, and even the sleekest of new fashion…Asuka…I never dressed this way before, but…I admit, I look dashing, like Fauna once said about me…"
Asuka however noticed a disappointed look in Sora's eyes…
"...Kairi would love to see you like this."
Asuka's words made Sora's heart jump as she walked over to fix his tie, and continued, "Listen Sora, you know Katsu's just a friend, right? This date thing, she's probably just trying to show you HOW to enjoy a date. So that when you and Kairi enjoy yours, you'll know how to have a good one." Sora then asked, "I just wanted my first romantic experiences to be with Kairi, but Katsu, the way she went on about spending a day with me, training and fighting Heartless, she made it sound like…the usual. Holding Hands, Candle Light, Fancy Outfits, what she went on about during dinner, sounded like a big deal, a date, and I'm just…not sure if I can go on with this. Asuka, should I…REALLY be going on a date with Kat?"
Asuka finished and answered, "Don't forget Sora, this is a Date. Two people who like each other are spending the day together. How do you want to behave? Like a pervy Kat, or a reserved Kairi?"
Sora thought about the subject while Asuka walked him out of his room and down the stairs, where Yomi, dressed more Maid-like than usual, handed him a Peppermint candy and a scalp examination, making sure his hair was clean and alright. Yomi then said, "I wish I was the one going out with you, if I'm being honest…because you look amazing." Sora smiled and said, "...I never said you could be my Maid…but Yomi, I'm really happy to hear that. Friends like you and Kairi are worth the day. I just hope…Kat doesn't take this date too far." Asuka and Yomi looked at one another and nodded, then looked at Sora and said, "...SHE WILL."
(KNOCK-KNOCK)
"LI'L PIG, LI'L PIG! LEMME IN!" Katsu yelled from outside.
Sora sweated ice beads while Asuka and Yomi each placed their hands on Sora's shoulders…
Asuka then said, "Remember, this is JUST a Date, and Kat is a friend."
Yomi then said, "And if she suggests the 'suggestive', just say 'No'."
Sora nods, "Just a Date. Kat's a Friend. And no Suggestive Stuff-." Yomi then said, "-Do you know what I mean by 'Suggestive'?" Sora answered, "...no?" Yomi pats him on the head and advises, "Just behave, cutie. You'll be fine."
As the door opened, Sora, Asuka, and Yomi were surprised to see Katsu in civilian clothes. Blue jeans and a buttoned red shirt with a blue undersheet in case she wanted to turn the shirt inside out and wear blue instead of red, with a star on her left chest. While she keeps a bit of cleavage and clavicle shown, Katsu looks the least seductive than she ever looked…
Katsu then said, "Hey, nice suit, Romeo? Did you think we were gonna-?"
"HAVE YOU MET YOURSELF KATSU?! YOUR FIRST INSTINCT IS SEXUAL HARASSMENT!" Asuka argued. Sora then approached Katsu and asked, "...I can get changed if you want?" Katsu shook her head and said, "Nah, no need to worry, I'll put on a dress when we're enjoying dinner together. Now come on, 'Stud', let's kick some Heartless ass and enjoy some Training together!"
Katsu then tugged Sora along while Asuka and Yomi could only watch with worried expressions…
"...she's gonna take his black cherry…" Yomi cried. Asuka then asked, "You know, WE haven't exactly done anything since I moved in, how about we try…OH Yomi, let's keep an eye on Sora and keep Katsu from trying anything!" Yomi happily looked at Asuka with eyes filled with hopeful glittering stars while asking, "W-WE CAN DO THAT?! KEEP HIS VIRGINITY SAFE AND SECURE?!" Asuka nervously nodded, "Of course! He's got a nice lady friend back home, and she would be devastated if Sora's first time was with another girl, especially Katsu!" Yomi shook Asuka's hand and said, "-Then it's decided! Team Chastity is a go-!"
"-The team is a 'no'. We have business with your faction, Asuka. And we'll need to speak to Katsuragi once she returns."
Asuka and Yomi then looked high and low for whoever was talking, until before them, landed 5 hooded girls, whose faces remained hidden beneath their skyblue hoods. Asuka then looked at Yomi and asked, "Could you fetch Homura, Yomi? Seems we have a few visitors…from Gessen."
Elsewhere, Katsu took Sora to an Arcade Hangout, where she asked, "So here's where we'll train, Sora…the sanctuary of all cheap sweats and lessons, the gamer's arcade! I have something here in mind that can help you with your movements, making you fast enough to avoid the FLASHIEST of Lights." Sora then sighed and said, "Alright, whatever you say." Katsu however tugged on Sora's arm and said, "Nuh-Uh, none of that negativity, Mister, otherwise, you'll be hurting your girlfriend's feelings when SHE takes you somewhere!" Sora snapped out of his negative feeling around Katsu, kept his mind on Kairi, and said, "S-S-SORRY, KAI-(ahem)-KAT! LET'S GET TO IT!"
As they went inside, Sora was surprised to find a familiar face at the cash register…
"Welcome to Games Honey Marvelous! We have shooters, cranes, cards, fighters, even the platformers you all know and love! Just make sure you play here with a buddy, NOBODY wants to play alone, do they-? …wait, Katsuragi?!" Haruka asked.
Katsu laughed and said, "WASSAP, MY SISTAH?! Me and Sora here are on a Date! And I was hoping-why aren't you behind the desk anymore-?!" To Katsu's chagrin, Haruka was already holding Sora close while flirting, "Well-well-well, the newest Ninja of Hanzo's here to play?" Sora gulped and said, "H-H-Hello again, mam." Haruka however said, "Sweetheart, the name's Haruka. Ha. Ru. Ka. It's that simple…" Kat then pulled away Haruka and said, "BACK AT THE REGISTER, 'CURLS'! We're here to work on his flexibility. I think a good workout and dance from your DDR game will make the Keyboy fast enough to outrun the likes of Superman and Super Sonic." Haruka then joked and said, "Aiming for the stars, are we? Well, I think I have just the song for you two. Go ahead and set yourselves up while I ring you up."
While Katsu was getting her wallet, Sora said, "Hang on, Kat, I think I can pay for this." As Sora gave Haruka the required payment, Haruka commented, "Such a gentleman, paying for his Date. I'll accept it." As Haruka allowed the two in, Haruka stopped Sora with a gentle pat on his shoulder and said, "Have fun, handsome. Just don't have TOO much fun…without me." Sora swallowed his pride and said, "I-I'll be…o-on my best behavior…H-Haruka…"
Haruka then let Sora go while waving flirtingly, making Sora whisper to Katsu, "We should probably just spend time on one of the games here, Haruka seems a bit anxious." Kat sighed and said, "Say no more. One dance, and we're out." Sora then asked, "So…our training…involves Dancing?" Katsu nodded and said, "Yeah, gotta up your game to superhuman levels, and what better way than to make you dance faster-thus MOVE faster?" Sora sighed and said, "Alrighty then, what's the song?" Katsu smirked and said, "Lights, by Ellie Goulding!" With one wink, she had Sora all set up with her on the Dancing game…
After a good long dance, Katsu and Sora walked out, tired and eager to enjoy something to chow down on in a diner…
The two lumbered over to a restaurant, where they leaned on a window, tired from their dance. "Hey Sora…I've been meaning to ask you, why did you call me 'Kat'?" Katsu asked. Sora blushed and answered, "Let's…save it until after my mission is complete." But before Sora could walk into the restaurant, Kat surprised him by holding his hand and pleading, "...you might forget though…please tell me…right…now."
Sora picked her up and said, "The dance must have left you winded or something. Look, we can go out for dinner some other time. How about I take you home and…we'll try another time?" Katsu however argued, "YOU can take a breather whenever, but WE are eating some Ramen tonight!"
"You wanna eat Ramen for dinner?" Sora asked, to which Katsu answered, "YES I DO wanna eat Ramen, 'Mr. Lovekiller'! I may not get my passionate reward because of 'Kairi', but I sure as Hell will not end this night hungry!" Katsu tripped and fell on her knee, scraping it in the process, but Sora hurried over and used a Cure spell to heal her injury…
Sora helped her up, somewhat caught off guard by what she said earlier, and asked, "...how many bowls can you eat?" Katsu smiled and answered, "Enough. Just order us a table and I'll show you firsthand (giggle)." Sora nodded and said, "Hey Kat…you're cute."
Katsu blushed bright red, and while Sora walked away, she quietly snuck into an alley and changed her clothes, unseen by the masses…
"Dressed fancy for someone, sir?" The register asked, to which Sora answered, "Yeah, she's KINDA much, but she's OK. Took me for a workout after showing me the entire city…" The register then jokes, "Sounds like your friend's aiming to sleep with you tonight!" Sora however shook his head and said, "She just wants to spend time with me as a friend! She knows I already have a…well, I'd like to think she's more than my friend at this point, but the girl, who is outside, and is my friend, is NOT aiming to sleep with me!"
At that moment, Katsuragi strutted like the fox she was, in an exotic-looking red dress!
Pressing herself against Sora's chest with hers, she said to the register, "Dinner. For Two. Happy 'Valentines Day', Sora." As Katsu walked Sora into the dining area, the register said, "I wonder if his 'Virgin Alarm' has gone off yet? Either way, dude's lucky he's HER dessert."
